Another find in this series. Hopefully I can get the other clues to finish it off before it is archived. 4 found so far. Thanks HeliKelli for keeping this going.

Being a minecraft player i had to find this one, now determind to get the rest of the series.
 
19-Sep-23
Looking after the grandkids for the day and on our way to birdland we stopped for this quick find. Nice playground here. Thanks for the cache. Cache is in good condition.

Finding this cache made me feel stupid. I was looking in all the wrong places until I took a much more simple approach thanks to cooper from FisherFamFive. TFTC Smile

Working our way through the Minecraft series, another one gets a smiley. First time we've come across this cultural centre. TFTC HeliKelli
 
09-Jul-23
After trying for another cache in the area but found there were too many muggles I decided to come and try for this one. Thankfully it was very quiet here this evening so I had no trouble parking (although I stopped short twice) and then searching at GZ. The cache was soon found after checking the hint (initial search done without it) - TFTC Smile
 
05-Jul-23
Found with n0w0rries.
Thanks for the cache.
 
05-Jul-23
Having cleared out nearly all of the caches in our local area, we now take little detours on our way to visit family. This one was a quick and easy find on the way to our son's house this afternoon. Thank you for the cache and the series.

 
01-Jul-23
I came back here after a DNF long ago and this time the cache was spotted in seconds! Much better! I also remembered to take a photo of the clue, which I usually forget to do. So an all round win today. Thanks for the cache
 
18-Apr-23
After completing an afternoon job in Rowville, I stopped along the route home to search out some caches. Having collected some of the others in the series, I stopped by to find another.
Part of me was a tiny bit disappointed this wasn't a tree climb, as it looked like a great specimen to ascend. Regardless, the container was soon in hand, the log signed, and the clue obtained.

Out completing cache maintenance with kploz in tow……making him find them first.
Logbook has been replaced and is ready to find again. Happy hunting.

Found it after a few minutes of walking around.
 
22-Sep-22
was in the area for the long weekend when we Decided to See if there's any geocache around and we came to this one , easy found , Hint it is Straight across from this picture.
 
11-Sep-22
Tried to find not so long ago, but muggle children were hanging around. Found the zone easily enough, with Fitzelfleas and geo partner & child. Once we ignored the hint and trusted the geosenses, the cache was found. TFTC
 
11-Sep-22
Got it! We had a go at this one a month or two back but there were kids around. No one here today, and after pottering around for a while, we finally got it. Found with Kezzza. Don’t be overly concerned with the hint!

26-Jul-22
Found it
 
27-Dec-21
I gave this a good attempt last night but unfortunately I only found a very flat ringtail possum

Looking at previous logs and photos it seems this cache has gone walkabouts or I'm off my caching game after all the Christmas food haha!

05-Apr-21
Off for an early morning geocaching run and today's destination of choice was the Birdlands Reserve. It being Easter Monday, there was no traffic at 7 in the morning. Guessing it won't be the same this afternoon.

I parked in the first place that I saw and strolled over to the coordinates. I didn't realise that I could almost park on top of the GZ, but from my entrance angle the cache was easily seen. Another one of this series done.

Thanks for the cache (._o) in the care of Mark & Kelly

I have been watching this cache since our last attempt and noticed a couple of new logs mentioning the construction on this site has been completed and cache is now available to find.

In the area today, we stopped and made a nice quick find.
Thanks Mark&Kelly
 
03-Jun-20
I've been watching this for quite some time, waiting for the works to be finished. When I saw it had been logged, I called past today and found that GZ is back to its original condition. I was pleased to sign the log.
Tftc.
 
02-May-20
I'd noticed a couple of days before that Burrinja seemed open again (they'd been targeting April, so no huge surprise there)

This was my exercise for the day, towards the end of what was quite a wet day. Showers were going past all day long, but a little after 5pm I noticed a gap in the weather, put on my shoes and ran off down the road.

Any walk around this area seems reasonably scenic, even with all the houses and roads. Ferny Creek was flowing pretty good. Near GZ someone was trying to fly a kite. As I'd spotted the cache itself last time, now the barriers were removed it was a quick, GPS-free find.

Signed and continued on my loop of the area, turning the corner into my street just as it started sprinkling lightly. Within a minute of reaching home it was raining quite a bit, making this a perfectly timed bit of Exercise. Thanks for the cache!
 
22-Feb-20
Major construction happening around GZ and need to temporarily disable.
 
26-Dec-19
I'm pretty sure I spotted this (matched the clue too), only a couple of metres behind the temporary construction fencing so I couldn't sign it.
 
10-Aug-19
There are works being carried out at this site, and a temp security fence close to GZ. I suspect we won't be able to log it until works are completed. I could be wrong, however!
 
20-Jul-19
Searched for about 45 minutes today with no joy. Will keep an eye on this one.

Thanks anyway (._o) and Mark&Kelly
 
04-Jul-19
I'm afraid we have visited here twice and been unable to locate it! Other posts are saying easy find. Not sure what we are missing!
 
03-Jul-19
Easy find thanks

Out for a drive, we stopped at this park for a quick find. Thanks Mark&Kelly

Having attended the Dawn service at Upway this morning, we stopped to grab a quick cache on our way to breakfast with friends. A nice easy find at this hour of the morning. However I failed to check for the clue, so with a quick U-turn, I had the cache found for the second time this morning. Now with the clue safely recorded, off to breakfast we go. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Sunday morning what better to do then find Tupperware... Oh but it wasn't Tupperware, what do I do
 
17-Feb-18
This was the first time I had actually visited the Burrinja cultural centre, and it was to go caching! Good to finally know where it is. A nice quick find on a quiet afternoon. The only problem I now have is that I have visited most of this series (I think) and nearly all of the photos I took of the information I need is on the old phone that works intermittently. Looks like I might have to retrace my steps. TFTC!
 
16-Jan-18
Coordinates were spot on which made it a pretty easy find. Good camo. Excited to look for more in the minecraft series!
 
04-Jan-18
Good hiding spot! Took us a little while to find it.

Took a while but my partner managed to find it al last.

I dont know anything about Minecraft but i do know a cache when i see one! Nicely camoed this one. It was starting to drizzle and we figured we would be safe, so went to grab it when a muggle appeared. Whoops bent to tie my shoe laces. He took no notice and kept on walking. I wonder if he noticed that i was wearing boots.

Back in the area again this week, visiting more patients, and I happened to finish one quite early. This cache happened to be en route to the next appointment so I pulled in. Thankfully the compass led me away from the playground which was inhabited, and the cafe which was also bustling with life, and a quick find was had. TFTC Mark&Kelly
 
06-Feb-17
A quick find out about today.
 
21-Jan-17
Nice day for caching. Cafe has nice orange cake too. Win!

The Mini-Welders had to coax me along for this one as my back was giving me some grief. Dynamo guided us in to GZ with the GPSr and soon made this find. He was very pleased to do this one all by himself. Nice placement and camo, by the way!
Thanks again (._o). This was a lovely summer's evening to come here and enjoy this great playground.
 
03-Jan-17
Woo hoo found the first one! Hoping to start and finish this series today with geoson!
 
29-Dec-16
This was the last one we need before heading of to find Enderman. Of coarse we have done the whole series backwards and finished with #1. That's just how we role. Now to go home and figure out the puzzle part. It's too hot today to stay out.

Found at 9:03 AM GAFF1.
On our way to the Oakleigh market to collect the meat for our traditional Christmas Eve spit party and we just had to stop for one cache. Not many muggles about at this time of the morning, so it was a just a matter of getting to GZ and making a quick check of one or two spots and we were soon on our way.
Thanks Mark&Kelly.

 
11-Dec-16
As I was a bit early for lunch nearby, so I decided to tackle this one. Once GPS settled it became a quick find. Log signed all back safe again. Thanks

Dropping the eldest off for her violin lesson, Geojosiah and I had enough time to find a cache and have a play on a playground. This location suited both. Thanks for the cache!

Looking for the last of these after a long time. A few people were around and I felt a bit out of place. At Gz the hint gave me directions and I soon found the cache. Thanks Mark&Kelly

Quick find - car park was full so there must have been something going on in the community centre. Fortunately we were able to find the cache and SL without being disturbed. TFTC
